Oh no, the tourists who want to hop on the “next big thing” are definitely the majority, just not the majority of the HC playerbase
Before, you could play HC anyway you wanted, there wasnt any server which literally forced you to play acertain way, just an addon that people CHOSE to follow, you could do your own HC challenge whichever way you wanted, its self imposed.
And its true, people can still follow the addon or whatever self imposed rule they want, its just a shame that a server originating from a community dedicated to certain rules wont follow said rules. Which will result in a lot of botting and people buying their way through content which is against the whole idea of HC (which is why said rule is there in the first place lol). But hey the Classic Era playerbase loves RMT, so im not surprised you’re in favor of trading
Its a win win for both casuals and blizzard. One get the tourist golden pass through HC and the other gets loads of bot subs.
